Brian Plummer, also known as David Brian Plummer (11 September 1936 – 12 September 2003), was a British writer, teacher and dog breeder.
Background
In 1977, Plummer appeared on Richard Whiteley's Calendar regional news programme, during which a ferret became 'latched' onto Whiteley's fingers.
Brian Plummer helped the Scottish Working Dog Association during the fight in the Scottish Parliament against the Protection of Wild Mammals bill.
A blasé Plummer showed little concern for the pain Whiteley was in, instead telling him that if the ferret had been serious the bite would have been "through to the bone. He's playing with you."
Growing up in the austere years around World War II, Plummer based some of his biographical stories in and around the valley in which he grew up.
